Graffitti

Passed this abandoned house the other day with graffiti sprayed all over the walls and it struck me that the comments sprayed on the walls go against what you would normally expect to read when it comes to graffiti. Thats what I thought anyway?


Either way, you have to agree with the sentiment though.

Cheers Elliot, glad your enjoying it.

Anon, I guess it depends on the type. Some of the stuff I've seen can be pretty good and the guys doing it have a real talent, like the 'tags' and designs you see on walls, trains etc. But like everything, some of it can be shit.
